Mark Zuckerberg's 'bad boy' image rendered from a movie, an unauthorized biography and a graphic novel was known early on to call his Facebook followers "dumb f*cks." Of recent date, he has censored Proposition 19
(for the legalization of marijuana in California) from advertising on his
network, in addition to filing a lawsuit against a Web site called 'Teachbook' for daring to use the word "book" in its title.

Social Media or Web 2.0 can be considered the battleground for Web 3.0's
Semantic Web. The shift has been happening subtly but is picking up
speed as Internet companies and nations vie for control of data. With 600 million users
now on Facebook, Google's 1.3 billion visitors per week and China's 1.35
billion citizens, these three entities have the greatest opportunity to
dominate the Web of the Future.

For anyone who has seen Christopher Nolan's mind-bending movie "Inception," the science of planting images and ideas into a subject's brain is not pure fiction. A research team at Northwestern University
are actually working on a study designed to make people remember things
that never happened. As a result, there is speculation that implanted
memories into one's existing photos could alter one's reality of the
past and subsequent brand loyalty.

Having just completed another exhausting political election season, it
seems at this point in time we're pretty much jaded by corruption and
the number of scandals that seem to surround many of our political
figures on the state and federal levels. However, who would have
suspected that corrupt mayors also existed on the nation's favorite
location-based social network - Foursquare?

For those that doubt the ubiquity of Facebook, one has only to look at
the trend emerging in European countries, where home-grown social
networks are either being sold or are losing their user base to
Facebook. World domination is a slow process, but one that Facebook
appears to be making headway across the pond.

Voter turn-out for mid-term elections normally - well - how should I put this… suck!
Where the 2008 national election turnout came in at 56.8 percent, the
mid-terms in 2002 and 2006 averaged less than 38 percent. Why is this
the case?

Appropriately enough, Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook were presented with a Fear Award at the first-time "Rally To Restore Sanity and/or Fear" event
hosted by satirical pundits Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert at the
National Mall in DC today. In true "point-counterpoint" fashion the two
venerable comedians traded barbs as to who best represented
reasonableness versus those that raised the bar on ratcheting up the
public's sense of fear.

In June, 2010, when theInternet World Stats
report published the "Top 20 Countries With Highest Number of Internet
Users," it was not a surprise that China, the US, Japan, India and
Brazil would take the top spots. According to the data, the highest
percentage of Internet users are China with 21.4%, the USA with 12.2%,
Japan with 5.0%, India with 4.1% and Brazil with 3.9%.

YouTube officially hits 1 billion subscriptions. If you go to the Youtube website
you'll notice the logo shows off their accomplishment.On average, that's 200 million
channels being subscribed to each year since Youtube was founded in
2005.

Ever since the Groupon model landed on the digital landscape and
captured the imagination of so many consumers so quickly, everyone seems
to want a piece of their marketshare. And that includes Facebook.
Rumored reports from watchdog blog All Facebook says
that local shopping deals are being tested.
